The folk-pop duo NAVI will represent Belarus at Eurovision 2017 with their song “Historyja majho žyccia” (Story of my life). This uplifting song has Belarusian lyrics. It will mark the first time Belarus has sent a song to Eurovision with entirely Belarusian lyrics.

The song has a positive message and celebrates life and togetherness. The delightful duo sing, “The sun will sparkle in our blood/The entire beauty of your eyes”.

And despite the lyrics being in Belarusian, the song has an instantly recognisable hook that anyone can sing along with. All together now, “Hey! Hey! Hay-yay-yay-a-ho!”

Keeping in a heart and moving on

To discover vivid impressions rapidly
